Bran Swift Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 My friend, who only watches the show , said to me:"The series are gonna suck now, they killed Boromir!"Oh my friends.. thats only the big trigger!I feel your pain, but sometimes you've got to have patience with people who, for whatever mad reason, won't cross the barrier to read the books and find out what the series is REALLY about. I know, it sucks. :P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Kolantero Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Yeah, I don't agree with what the OP said but it sort of showed the general perception of Sansa from general fans appears to be one of indifference, hate or down right bizarre.So the OP of a thread of 10-15-20 (can't recall exact number now) pages where not a single user agreed even the slightest with that OP is showing the general perception of the general fans regarding Sansa?Right...

WTFSalami Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I think you have to be careful with this kind of thread, they can easily devolve into something bad, even on nicer forums like this one.Anyway, something that people say about ASOIAF that gets on my nerves a little bit is that the books are too long. I mean, it's epic fantasy. By nature, it's about telling tales spanning characters and continents, which entails lengthy books. Sure, you could tell the story in fewer pages, but it's the length of the books that gives them real depth and substance, at least in part.Of course, epic fantasy isn't everyone's cup of tea, so I still understand the claim.I don't understand this criticism either. When I closed ASoS I let out a hearty NOOOOOOOOOOO because it was over.If I could have just kept reading that book forever, I would have. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ElizaMartell Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 So the OP of a thread of 10-15 pages where not a single user agreed even the slightest with that OP is showing the general perception of the fans regarding Sansa?Right...I wasn't saying people generally agreed with the notion Sansa was off her rocker. What I am saying is that threads that continue to pop up about Sansa shows the disparity in the interpretation of her character, amongst people who are not her fans. Some find fault in her behaviour and consider her spoilt, others assume her character has no agency and lacks growth, others find her realistic while some may think she's insane.

Martin Lasarte Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 "50 Shades is better than ASOIAF."Well, it probably has better sex scenes :drool: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Great Walrus Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Well, it probably has better sex scenes :drool:No actually, 50 shades of grey is a few hundred pages of misogynistic BDSM shit... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sheogorath Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 Someone already mentioned Ros. And I had an vision. HBO is going to give Margery WAY to much air time !!

Fragon Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 "Renly would have been a great king 'cause he had more men and therefore every single soldier who's following him must love him to death and support his claim! Also he's not a jerk at all he cares for the smallfolk, loves Shireen and Brienne and all! And he never intended to kill his brother or those he believed to be his nephews, that's not Renly that's Stannis, the lobster guy who's not nice with people!""Tywin is the boss he really is badass and everyone should look up to him, and also I never liked Starks to start with! They're boring and they are extremely stupid, I would never have done those mistakes!". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bran Swift Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 People WANT to be nerds?????People want to be nerds without the work or the knowledge, to try to seem cool. I know, I'm still trying to figure it out too... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WTFSalami Posted March 2, 2013 Share Posted March 2, 2013 I almost forgot :"It seems like Cat only loves sansa and robb, and doesnt really care what happens to the rest of her children."I almost shit myselfWe learn quite clearly from Catelyn's POVs that Bran is her favorite child. After I explained that to my brother, who had a similar criticism as the one above, he responded with "Well then she's fucked up for having a favorite child." Anyone who has more than one child has a favorite of the two. It is a completely unavoidable and completely natural feeling to have, but he simply could not grasp it, likely due to the fact that he was never the favorite child.It never means you love one more than the other, it just means that one of your kids will always share a closer resemblance and familiar interests than the others will.
